Inbound staged documents are either those that have been imported into the e-Commerce Gateway tables but not yet validated or transactions that have been validated but contain exceptions.
Two type of data rule exceptions can be found during data validation, processing rules and column rules. After running the inbound transaction process or resubmitting transactions for re-validation, you can see exceptions in the View Staged Documents window.
After setting up your inbound transactions and running them, check the concurrent manager to see if any transactions have a status of Error or Warning. If so, use the View Staged Documents window. See: Viewing Staged Documents.
Process rules apply to all transactions and are of the following types:
Invalid trading partner (based on data in the control record 0010).
Invalid document address, such as ship-to, bill-to, and so on (based on addresses in the detail of the transaction).
Test/production flag discrepancy (between data on the control record and the trading partner detail setup).
For detailed information on process rules, see: Assigning Process Rules.
Column rules are applied to individual columns within a transaction. You can assign predefined column rules to individual columns. You may also select the action to take if a rule is violated. The e-Commerce Gateway validates each document based on the rules defined for each column. If a rule is violated, the e-Commerce Gateway takes the defined action. For detailed information on column rules, see: Assigning Column Rules.
If a column or process rule is violated, the e-Commerce Gateway uses user-assigned actions to determine how the document should be processed:
Abort Run: Stops the processing of the entire interface data file.
Disabled: Prevents the rule from being enforced.
Log Only: Places a message in the log file, treats the document as successful, and continues processing.
Skip Document: Skips the current document and continues processing.
